1	1999	Tom Waits: Mule Variations - Pony I've seen it all boys I've been all over Been everywhere in the Whole wide world I rode the high line With old Blind Darby I danced real slow With Ida Jane I was full of wonder When I left Murfreesboro Now I am full of hollow On Maxwell street... And I hope my Pony I hope my Pony I hope my Pony Knows the way back home AC: The song "Pony" has a lot of characters. These names, "Burn-Face Jake," "Blind Darby." I think you're in "Evelyn's Kitchen." Are these real people that live in these songs? TW: "Evelyn's Kitchen," that's my Aunt Evelyn, who passed away during the making of the record. Her and my uncle had 10 kids and lived in a place called Gridley. I guess I've been far away from home, and have thought about her kitchen a lot and that a lot of people feel the same way when they've been far away from home. I dreamed about getting back home to her kitchen. That's why we put her in there -- a tribute to Evelyn. The other people are just different people I've come across over the years -- known, heard about, read about." interview source: http://weeklywire.com/ww/04-26-99/austin_music_feature1.html Epitaph 86547
